2. Learned counsel for the appellant is not aware what is the date of entry into service by the appellant, which is crucial date for the purpose of entertaining the application to rectify the date of birth.
3. Be that as it may, appellant is stated to have approached the concerned authority to rectify his date of birth in the year 1986 and thereafter keep on submitting representation from time to time.
